Happy Sunday! As I mentioned on Friday, we have a leak in our house. No one can find it. Not the leak detector. Not the plumber. We know there’s a leak because of the CRAZY LOUD RUSHING WATER NOISE IN OUR WALLS tell us there is. Also, the water meter is spinning. I won’t go into details, but the bottom line is we have to re-pipe the house tomorrow. The bad news…it’s the day before school and we’ll be out a few thousand dollars. The good news…we don’t have a flooded house (yet!) AND we will have beautiful new pipes in our walls. It’s all good.
Tuesday is the first day of school, so basically this week is gonna be cuh-ray-zee. I’m going to make a meal plan even though I’m not entirely sure we’ll end up using it!
MONDAY:
– Eating out given the house will literally be torn apart!
TUESDAY:
– Chicken Caesar Wraps
– Fresh fruit and carrot sticks
WEDNESDAY:
– Homemade pizza night (flavors TBD!)
THURSDAY:
– Leftovers (double soccer practice night!)
FRIDAY:
– Taco night
SATURDAY:
– Breakfast for Dinner: Waffles
SUNDAY:
– Having out-of-town friends over, so it’s time for a cook out, including s’morritos for dessert!
